Thank you!

Right next door to the Hilton, where I was staying was one of Melbourne’s top sites and the temple for sports-mad Melbournians: the Melbourne Cricket Ground (also known as the MCG or just the “G”). Seating almost 100,000 fans, the G was the site of the first Australian Rules football game in 1858 and the first Test cricket match between Australia and England in 1877. It’s massive and I can only imagine what the atmosphere is like around here on a match day.
From the G, I wound my way over to the Yarra River and walked along the water all the way to the Docklands area and Victoria Harbor. Along the way I passed several of Melbourne’s beautiful bridges. The most interesting of which was the Sandridge Bridge.
From there, I cut over to the modern steel and glass wonderland that is Federation Square. This is Melbourne’s central meeting place and on a beautiful summer day like today it was overflowing with people. The square is home to the National Gallery of Victoria and the Australian Center for the Moving Image (ACMI) and is the site for regular cultural events and sports telecasts.

Done with the show at The Gabba? It's time for some good old dolphin show.
During your time at one of the most populous cities of Australia, make sure that your time pays for itself. Besides bedazzling skyscrapers at shopping malls, step into the oceanarium and theme park , that is Sea World. Enjoy some of the most well trained dolphin and their stunts.

After you leave Melbourne Cricket ground, make your way in the state of Victoria to find yourself at The Melbourne Sea Aquarium. The bedazzling place has been featured in numerous movies and you need to feel the place yourself to understand why. During your time inside the tunnel that guides your way through the real aquatic habitat of Australia, you will actually realize the beauty and diversity of Australia.

Sydney’s famous aquarium is huge, filled with a million fish, penguins, and turtles, as well as special exhibits for deep-sea creatures like transparent jellyfish and seahorses, striped reef crustaceans and the biggest crab I have ever seen (it takes up half of a floor-to-ceiling tank wall). Best of all are the underwater tunnels through the shark enclosures: walk beneath Jaws’ cousins, saw-nosed sharks, and manatees. (Buy a ticket in combination with the Wildlife World and you’ll save.)

My visit to Dandenong Ranges was not constrained to a single trip. I visited this little heaven a few times again. One trip was dedicated to the wildlife of Healesville and the other one given over to the walking adventures of Sneha and her friends to Olinda Creek falls.

From skyscrapers to beaches, Australia is a country surrounded by the Indian and the Pacific oceans. One of the most prominent landmarks is the Sydney Opera House which is a major tourist attraction. Major cities like Sydney, Brisbane, Melbourne, Perth and Adelaide have played important roles in attracting people around the world. Some must visits include – Australian War Memorial, the historical village of Herberton, Tasmania's site of Port Arthur, the Fremantle Prison, the spectacular Jewel Cave, the Twelve Apostles on the Great Ocean road, and the wineries of Yarra Valley. Australia's capital city of Canberra, is where some of the most important universities of the country are located. Australia is also renowned for its wildlife and there are numerous national parks scattered across the country. It is one country which leads the pack when it comes to sport and adventure activities.
